import PkgListV37 from "/components/PkgListV37";

1. Download the client installation package

  <PkgListV37 productName="TDengine TSDB-OSS Client" version="3.3.8.8" platform="Linux-Generic" pkgType="Client"/>

2. Unzip the software package

   Place the package in any directory where the current user has read and write access, then execute the following command: `tar -xzvf tdengine-tsdb-oss-client-3.3.8.8-linux-x64.tar.gz`
   Replace VERSION with the actual version string.
3. Run the installation script

   After unzipping the package, you will see the following files (directories) in the unzipped directory:
   - _install_client.sh_: Installation script, used for applying the driver
   - _package.tar.gz_: Application driver installation package
   - _driver_: TDengine application driver
   - _examples_: Sample programs for various programming languages (c/C#/go/JDBC/MATLAB/python/R)
   Run install_client.sh to install.
4. Configure taos.cfg

   Edit the `taos.cfg` file (default path /etc/taos/taos.cfg), change `firstEP` to the End Point of the TDengine server, for example: `h1.tdengine.com:6030`

:::tip

1. If the TDengine service is not deployed on this machine and only the application driver is installed, then only `firstEP` needs to be configured in `taos.cfg`, there is no need to configure `FQDN` on this machine.
2. To prevent the "Unable to resolve FQDN" error when connecting to the server, it is recommended to ensure that the `/etc/hosts` file on your machine is configured with the correct FQDN value of the server, or that the DNS service is properly configured.
